Summary:

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to not just watch a movie, but to experience it, from inside the world of the story? Alien Rescue combines aspects of immersive virtual reality, cinematic storytelling, live theater, video games, and role playing in order to give you an experience like nothing you have ever had before. In Alien Rescue, there is no ‘audience’; everyone plays a role, with five professional actors leading the way during this live, seventy minute sci-fi action/adventure. Play as the Hero or tag along as a Sidekick: either way, it’s an experience you will never forget!
